Sherry Jacobson has been following the remarkable story of Dallas Wiens for almost three years. Here’s her latest update:

Dallas Wiens, the Fort Worth man who received the nation’s first full-face transplant, has found love at Parkland Memorial Hospital.

Wiens said Thursday he has proposed to Jamie Nash of Garland, whom he met last year when they both attended a support group for burn victims at the Dallas hospital last year. She was severely burned on her arms, legs and back in a 2010 car accident, as Steve Blow wrote last year.

Wiens, who lost his face and eyesight when he accidentally touched a high-voltage power line four years ago, said he has never been happier.

“Together we are stronger than either one of us could be apart,” he said.

“He’s able to smile, feel his face, express emotions,” said Bohdan Pomahac, director of plastic surgery transplants at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “Anyone who knows Dallas knows that he is a man who defies all odds.”

The Fort Worth man, whose face was burned off in 2008 when he touched a high-voltage line, said he can now feel his daughter’s kisses and go out in public and “hardly ever get a second look.”

“It’s amazing to be given a life that you weren’t sure for quite a while that you were ever going to have again,” he said.

After 2 1/2 years living without facial features, the 25-year-old Fort Worth man received a full-face transplant last week at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. He had been on the waiting list for a transplant since October.

“Dallas is doing great,” said Dr. Bohdan Pomahac, a Boston plastic surgeon, at a press conference held this morning at the hospital. “He will not look like himself, but he will not look like the donor.”
